Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Jehangir Tareen on Monday said that his party would also take up the alleged rigging by Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in 2013 general elections in the judicial commission (JC). Talking to reporters after a meeting of the representatives of the contractual employees of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, protesting outside PTI Chief Imran Khan Bani Gala residence, Tareen maintained that the general elections were massively rigged in Karachi.
He said that PTI would raise the issue of rigging in Karachi by MQM when the judicial commission will take up the matter, which was formed after prolonged struggle by the party. He hoped that other political parties would also present their stance against irregularities in elections before the judicial commission.
Tareen said that the PTI had already formed a taskforce which would present the proofs and evidences of the rigging and irregularities that were committed in the 2013 general elections.
The PTI leader also assured the protesting contractual employees that their legitimate demands would be fulfilled and urged them to go back to their homes. However, the employees continued their sit-in outside Bani Gala residence of Imran Khan for second consecutive day despite assurances given by Jahangir Tareen.
They were of the opinion that they would only negotiate with PTI chief Imran Khan and refused to go back home, vowing to continue the sit-in.
Employees and teachers associated with Workers Welfare Board (WWB) in Dera Ismail Khan, Tank and Lakki Marwat districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been protesting since Sunday morning, for the outstanding ten-month salaries and also demanding regularisation of their jobs.
The protestors stated that they were forced to stage sit-in outside Imran Khan's residence after failing to get provincial government's attention.
